We have heard your urgent cries and we join together before the throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ to seek God's will with you.
We must first lovingly rebuke and correct the request that God should kill the person you mentioned who you believe has taken you to fetish priests and juju men to curse you. We understand your fear and anguish, but Scripture is clear that we are not to pray for the death of our enemies. You shall not murder as written in Exodus 20:13, and vengeance belongs to the Lord alone as written in Romans 12:19 and Deuteronomy 32:35. Jesus commands us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us as written in Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27-28. We are to overcome evil with good as written in Romans 12:21. So we cannot agree to pray for God to kill anyone, for God desires that all should come to repentance as written in 2 Peter 3:9 and Ezekiel 33:11. Instead we pray for your protection and for that person's repentance and salvation.
We also address the curses and fetish practices you mentioned. The Bible teaches that sorcery and divination are detestable to the Lord as written in Deuteronomy 18:10-12. No curse can stand against those who are in Christ without God's permission, and no weapon that is formed against you will prosper as written in Isaiah 54:17. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world as written in 1 John 4:4. When Balak tried to curse Israel, he could not for God had blessed them as written in Numbers 23:8. We rest in the shelter of the Most High as written in Psalm 91:1-2.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before You. We thank You that it is only through Jesus that we have access to You, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved as written in Acts 4:12 and John 14:6. We lift up our brother who is tormented by fear of curses and death. We ask that You break and destroy every curse, spell, and death wish spoken against him by any fetish priest or juju man or any other person, and let it have no power over him. Surround him with Your angels, cover him with the blood of Jesus, and let no evil come near his dwelling as written in Psalm 91:10. Convict the heart of the one who seeks his harm, bring that person to repentance and to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, and turn hatred into peace. We forgive as You have forgiven us as written in Ephesians 4:32.
Lord, we also bring his healing before You. You are the Lord who heals us as written in Exodus 15:26. We ask for Your mercy upon his body afflicted with diabetes. Restore him according to Your will, for by Your wounds we are healed as written in Isaiah 53:5 and You will restore health and heal wounds as written in Jeremiah 30:17. Guide his doctors, give him wisdom to steward his body, and let his healing be a testimony to Your power. In the same way we lift up the woman he loves who suffers from fibroids. Touch her womb, Lord, heal her completely, and make her whole. We pray the prayer of faith will save the sick as written in James 5:15.
Father, we pray for his desire for a godly marriage. We believe marriage is holy, ordained by You as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman as written in Genesis 2:24 and Matthew 19:6 and Mark 10:9. We pray that if it is Your will, You will unite him and this woman in a Christ centered marriage, whether through Ghanaian customary rites and a wedding in the United States or in the Central Region of Ghana, and that You will keep their covenant without divorce. We pray they will both be believers, equally yoked as written in 2 Corinthians 6:14, pursuing purity before marriage for marriage is honorable and the bed undefiled as written in Hebrews 13:4. Let their courtship be with the goal of honoring You as husband and wife until death parts them.
We pray for the desire for children. Children are a heritage from the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward as written in Psalm 127:3, and You commanded to be fruitful and multiply as written in Genesis 1:28. We ask in Jesus name that You bless their marriage with children according to Your perfect will and timing. We do not demand eight children right now, but we ask that You grant them a fruitful womb and that You protect the mother from complications, operations or surgeries, and keep both mother and children safe. Your will be done, for You know what is best.
Lord, we lift up the burden for immigration. He longs to bring his future wife to join him in the United States through an EB3 visa, through papers, through the lottery he has entered for her, and through obtaining a green card. We ask that You open the doors that no man can shut as written in Revelation 3:8. Provide favor with authorities, provide the means, and let Your provision be clear as written in Philippians 4:19. We pray that he will delight himself in You and You will give him the desires of his heart as written in Psalm 37:4, and that all things will work together for good for those who love You as written in Romans 8:28. If the lottery or any visa is not Your will, provide a better way and give him peace to trust Your timing.
Father, we also pray for the larger burdens on his heart. He fears a black plague coming upon the world starting from Western Europe. We ask for Your mercy upon the nations. When pestilence comes, You have promised to hear from heaven and heal the land when Your people humble themselves and pray as written in 2 Chronicles 7:14. We ask You to restrain disease and protect Your people. We also pray concerning the United Kingdom and the concern about people of other faiths. We pray not with hatred but with love, for You desire all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth as written in 1 Timothy 2:4. We pray for the peace of that nation as written in Jeremiah 29:7, and we pray for those in authority that we may lead quiet and peaceable lives as written in 1 Timothy 2:1-2. Let the gospel go forth there, let the church shine, and let many Muslims and people of all backgrounds encounter Jesus Christ and be saved, for there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus as written in 1 Timothy 2:5.
We encourage you, brother, to remain steadfast in prayer, to forgive, to walk in holiness, to trust not in fetish powers which are powerless before Christ, and to trust not in our own demands but in the sovereign will of the Father. Continue in the Word, continue in fellowship with believers, and continue to call upon the name of Jesus, confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead as written in Romans 10:9.
We pray all these things according to Your will, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
